this cold weather is killing me. It's freak'n May! I want to wear shorts.
Where are you even gonna store something like that?! Also what House did ya get? I usually come up as Ravenclaw, rarely Hufflepuff.
Now that you got the big thing, might as well get it all...
I wish I did that with the ol' Rock Raiders set... loved the ones I had, and the video game on PC! It was like, children's first RTS.

Looking for suitable software, I stumbled upon a tutorial on Inkscape about pathing, which could be great for doing the graphics of the worlds for a game I'm gonna prototype...
But now it's bed.

I keep taking these long naps. I feel groggy and awful afterwards. I don't know what day it is half the time.
I see your LEGO Hogwarts and I raise you 12 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector's Series sets and one LEGO Voltron.
Also I recently replayed that old Rock Raiders game and honestly it holds up a lot better than I thought. It's a lot easier than I remember, but I legitimately had a good time playing it.

If I was as committed to gamedev, as I was to playing games... I wouldn't have time to play games. :huh:
Yeah, I did that in my early 20s, I think. The oxygen levels still panicked me though... and the lava ones. What annoyed me though, playing again as an older person, is that you had such little control over the Raiders. You'd just assign tasks and a priority list, and any old raider would do it...
I vaguely recall playing a PS1 game a bit... wasn't very good. Was all about shooting lasers at different coloured scorpions and the like, with the occasional vehicle section.
Could have been delivered to someone else? :huh:

How do you even wear a monocle?
Like do you have to constantly squint with that eye so that you hold it in place with your cheek and eyebrow or is there some kind of harness?
I can't imagine that they are literally just like a pair of glasses cut in half because even if you had the little over the ear thing they would still fall off all the fucking time.
And I don't know about you guys but fumbling for your half pair of glasses every 20 minutes because it falls of your face every time you even so much as glance at the ground doesn't exactly scream "wealth and class" to me which unless I'm mistaken is literally the only point of a monocle.
What do you do if you sneeze? Unless the rim is made out of actual 24 karat gold that thing probably weighs like 2-3 oz at most so if you have a powerful enough sneeze you might never see that thing again.
Also did you guys know that the monopoly guy has never worn a monocle?
Neither has the Pringles guy.
Also what the hell kind of a name is Pringles? Who came up with that?
I suppose maybe the "P" comes from potato chips but what about the "ringles" that's not a thing is it?
Are Pringles even potato chips? The plain ones taste kind of potato chip-ey but the texture is more like a thin wafer or a cracker.
I also just learned that the guy who designed the iconic Pringles can has a master's degree in organic chemistry and is published in three scientific journals, and yet he is most known for designing (and patenting) a cardboard tube that's just slightly smaller than the average human hand.
HOLY FUCK HE HAD HIS ASHES BURIED IN A PRINGLES CAN.
That's real. That happened in real life.
I can't imagine that works very well. Would a Pringles can even hold all of the ashes of a fully grown human?
How much ashes does an average person produce when cremated?
Googled it, it's approximately 3 - 3.5 liters of ashes. That seems like a lot.
I wonder what flavor of Pringles the can was?
If I were to have my ashes buried in a Pringles can I'd probably pick salt & vinegar flavor. Either that or sour cream & onion.
Wait a second a Pringle can can't hold 3 liters.
Also Pringle cans are totally biodegradable right? I mean, besides the plastic lid?
I wonder if they put some kind of coating on the can to preserve it or if it's just disintegrated at this point.
I'd ask the guy who designed them but he's in the can...
Imagine being a grave robber and spending several hours digging a six foot deep hole only to find a Pringles can instead of a casket.
Just that big dumb mustachioed face laughing at you.
I'd probably be saltier than the chips.
Then imagine the ultimate disappointment when you think "Hey, at least I got a snack out of it" only to find out it's full of a bunch of stupid ashes.
I think what I'm trying to say is that monocles are weird.
Like I understand that people can have sight issues in just one eye but wouldn't it just make more sense to have a pair of glasses where only one lens is actually corrective?
That would at least save you the inconvenience of having to explain how you're near-sighted in only your right eye to a thousand people a day who would be understandably inquisitive when they see you wearing dismembered bifocals.
But no, 1830's Europe just had to be extra about everything.
Oh dear it's after 4 AM I should probably go to bed.
Well I learned a lot about Pringles and cremation today.

Because it was memorial weekend my family was lingering on a conversation about churches and burial practices.
I used that pringles can story to derail them.
